I doubt you will find one unless you find someone selling a used one on ebay or somewhere. Best bet is like WD4CHP suggested and just change the cord unless the microphone it's self is no longer working. I had several mixes of 212's and 242's at one time and seems like those mic's always fell apart or give me trouble.

Mine failed close to the microphone body so I just disassembled the microphone and pulled some cord through the strain relief until I reached where the sheath was still good, and coiled the excess inside the microphone. Eventually though I'm sure I'll run out of cord to do that with. I saw one at Hamcom this year where the guy replaced the cord with some Cat 5 cable. Not pretty, but guess it worked. A lot of radios use modular connectors so it's just a matter of finding one with the right wires populated, ring it out and get it connected to the mic PCB.

My 242 has been in service about 16 years and this is the first issue, so not complaining.

Actually I use CAT5 cable on my IC-207 mic. Digikey carries coiled cables,something like 12' or 15' long, which was just right for giving me plenty oflength when the radio is mounted under the seat. I just had to figure outwhether the original cable had direct or reversed connectors.

It's easiest if your mic uses connectors at both ends, of course, but if youget one twice as long as needed you can solder one to your mic and keepthe other as a spare.
